Dude you screwed up, you shouldn't have done anything to that floor for at least a year, what you have to do now is wait, at some point the paint should peel, did you cut the paint by chance? If not you'll be waiting a while I'm affraid, you could try a heat gun but it's a bit much if you ask me,
Good luck
